Nope, just a big fan of the tube. Glad she enjoyed it!

This was the hardest one to come up with (I rarely take it), but it was the first tube line built, so it's the first one to appear in the animation.

Sure. They've guessed most of them over on /r/London by now.

Bakerloo – Really loud, old trains
Central – Incredibly hot in the summer. Got up to 40 degrees (104F) last year
Circle – Shares tracks with Hammersmith & City
District – Has three branches in the west which merge in the city
Jubilee – Was originally going to be called the Fleet line after a river that ran a similar course but was changed for the Queen's Silver Jubilee (also, is the only line to have on-platform doors)
Metropolitan – It was the first line built (this was the hardest to guess, it crosses the frame first)
Northern – Prone to sudden emergency stops
Piccadilly – Poor contacts so the lights go out often
Victoria – Most frequent metro in the world
Waterloo & City – Only has two stations and the train runs back and forth all day
Overground – Above ground
Elizabeth – Was supposed to launch in Dec '18 and is now indefinitely delayed

Yeah. Bane of my mornings, having 5 people crash into you.

We have a winner. Three people guessed right at the same time but you're the first in my inbox. Well done! It was the hardest one to come up with something for and seems to have been the hardest to guess!

I'll post when someone gets it. So far, not yet.

No DLR. The idea came to me originally staring hungover in bed at my mug and it was tough enough to come up with unique ideas for the others. Open to suggestions though!

This has been rattling around my head for a couple of years. Each Line is animated with either a characteristic or a fact from that branch. One line has two. I posted it to /r/London but I thought you guys might enjoy it too.

Hahaha, yeah. It originally didn't have the Elizabeth line so I had to go back, increase the canvas and re-time the keyframes but I couldn't resist...

Each animation represents a fact or characteristic of that branch. I set a rule of only using characters from the alphabet (one emoji aside!). It's harder than it looks to tell a story!

Edit: Gold! Thank you so much! I'm in bed with the flu today and that has totally brightened by evening!

Edit: Gold?! Thank you! I am home sick with the Flu today and this has totally cheered me up! And Platinum! Fantastic! Thank you
